Report from Groups

• Lack of communications between members
• Launch a more aggressive networking ability
• Primary tools that matched needs
• Needs: get other users to join Facebook, better time management to participant, get members to understand that there are benefits to networking, that isn't just social
• New members - overwhelming at first. A lot of members struggle with software skills. Will have more group tutorials to help students.
• Get a copy of Jesse's book
• I asked for some advice on Twitter and learned that a good guy to follow in Twitter for FB

• To post jobs from outside folks for the students
• Thought about Twitter, but Linked In might work better - maybe group feature
• Post by email blog for people to email job listings
• Problem: potential employers are not computer saavy - artists who need web sites - hire someone who is web saavy
• Voice to text - Grand Central - use email posting address to blog -
• Cards that might be best - YouTube for New Media Group, Technorati - look into Twitter to LinkedIn - and either to the Web
• Twitter response re: Grand Central

• Increasing visibility of events
• Increasing web presence
• Metric: Better attendance, creating rec. links to arts groups in the area, capturing emails for audience
• Starting a blog for the gallery on word press - a forum to promote events and link to college site which is static.
• The blog part is dynamic.
• Link to outside artist site - get around policy issue.
• Been curating gallery for a long time, wanted to do a historical retrospective.
• Get artists to upload photos in Flickr.
• Lectures are video taped - use ITunes for college - distribute on the blog
